Scott Orr - Tell My Mother 04:17
lyrics
buy track
Tell my mother I died for my country. Tell my mother I died a free man. Tell my mother I tried. Tell my mother I died. I was more accustomed to looking up from the stage, not down on it. Still, I felt at home, I'd been there so many times before. I was born to play this role, I gave the performance of my life. I played it well. Someone had to do it, sure as hell wasn't General Lee. Johnston kept on trying, but his chances, well, they didn't look so good. A few of us, we thought the time was right. We made a plan. We tried to save us all. Tell my mother I died for my country. Tell my mother I died a free man. Tell my mother I tried. Tell my mother I died. We made it over to Virginia, we thought we got away, but they found us. Herold gave up right away, but not me, I'm the leading man. They set the barn on fire, so I went out in a blaze of glory. Mom, I shined. "Useless, useless" was all that I could mutter. Maybe not my best line, but I said it with aplomb. This was my defining role, I know they'll remember who I am. Mom, I shined. Tell my mother I died for my country. Tell my mother I died a free man. Tell my mother I tried. Tell my mother I died.

Tyler Millard - The Evidence 03:40

The Evidence If they had found me in my bed They would have strung me up on Proctor’s Ledge A shallow grave for my body My sorry soul condemned to Howard Street They should be praying Instead they’re saying Look at all the evidence of evil in this town Tichuba’s been talking, and there’s witches flying round And old Mr. Cory, they’re going to press him to plea I say the devil’s up in Salem, but the evidence is hanging in the trees I’m not an educated man But I’ve lived enough life to understand When accusations fly we tend To put the poor folk on the receiving end We’re all just praying Cause the rich folks are saying Look at all the evidence of evil in this town Tichuba’s been talking, and there’s witches flying round And little Betty Paris wasn’t safe in the house of the priest I say the devils up in Salem, but the evidence is swinging in the trees Look at all the evidence Just look at all the evidence Look at all the evidence Just look at all the evidence I’ve done nothing, but still I’m running Cause I can hear the pitch forks coming They say look at all the evidence of evil in this town Tichuba’s been talking, and there’s witches flying round And old Mr. Cory, well he’s, he’s too proud to plea I say the devil’s up in Salem, but the evidence is hanging The devil’s. Up in Salem, but the evidence is hanging The devil’s up in Salem, but the evidence is having in the trees

lyrics

Grab your whistle and grab your bow It’s time to get ready (I don’t want to go) Down to the corner to McAdoo’s pub We’ll start up a session (I just want my tub) Young Ian is singing the black stuff is flowing It’s always a good time (I still don’t like going) Drink a little whisky you might have some fun I know you like dancing (I wish we were done) Bowstrings are flashing young lassies are dancing And the lads are doing their best to catch up Good cheer’s contagious we’ll stay out for ages There’s never bad night at McAdoo’s Pub Why did you drag me out of my bed? I have to rise early (you’re out of your head) I’ll stay for just one drink then back to my place I’ve schoolwork to finish (but it’s Saturday!) This song’s not bad and I know the words Maybe I’ll dance (it’s about time you stirred) Let’s have another, the next one’s on me You were right this is where I should be Bowstrings are flashing young lassies are dancing And the lads are doing their best to catch up Good cheer’s contagious we’ll stay out for ages There’s never bad night at McAdoo’s Pub Music is healing and everyone’s feeling The joy you feel when sharing a cup Good cheer’s contagious we’ll stay out for ages There’s never bad night at McAdoo’s Pub Good cheer’s contagious we’ll stay out for ages There’s never bad night at McAdoo’s Pub

Doug Davis - Lines on a Page 05:54
lyrics
buy track
Can you leave me my tea Where the sunlight can’t reach There’s a hammer in my skull Leaves me useless for speech All these maps and these charts Full of blunders and lies Leaves me dreams of the Red Rose And Lancashire skies the wrong man for the job?
I’m sure we’d agree It’s the first time I’ve set foot To the east of Paris (par-ee) but some tasks escape The capacity of man If I had three more years I might improve on the plan they’ll round them all up Just like dogs in a cage But what’s it to me But lines on a page? All due deference to duty It’s a sin and a bore You were late with my coffee Nearly gave them Lahore Did you hear the man pleading With a thousand great pardons To save his vacations to the Darjeeling gardens? my eyes play me tricks I can focus no more But the same flaws in vision Kept me home from the war Five weeks to forge In the devil’s own grill Foundations of freedom for the Savage to build They’re saying this fire is the curse of our age But what’s it to me But lines on a page? this ache in my head
can you whisper, come near Can you show on this map where the sands of Kashmir Give way to the foothills And the peaks of Ladakh
oh these telegrammed threats
and the tick of the clock And did you ever believe me A ghost of a chance Was I sent here to spiral a desperate dance To twist, for my country, On brass tenterhooks For three thousand pounds
and my name in the books? They’ll measure my sins By the devil’s own wage But what’s it to me But lines on a page?

St. Germain 02:33
lyrics

Give me sweet ambrosia Wanna live forever so Don’t know what to tell ya Drink the sunlight, love the Summer rain Learned my trade in Roma Secrets of the moonlight wanes Found the sweetest liquor Went around the world as St. Germain 45 Rebellion Liberating Scotland from her Jacobite insurgents Man who ran me through, don’t know his name Made my way to Frankia Told the king of lover’s wing A martyr to his boredom Learned the alchemy of the arcane

about

Here is Dale’s assignment for Week 9:

"Write a fictional first person narrative in the context of a factual historic event. For example, the character finds a diary in her attic that details the last days of her great-great grandpa in WWI. Or…you’re Genghis Khan and laying waste to the Eurasian steppe. Go nuts with some historical shit.”
